Am I ready I add fish?

Have you added any type of CUC yet?

That is how I would start if you have not.

Get some snail and hermits, test again in a couple days.

If you do go with the clowns, do not over feed. They may not eat for a day or so anyways so the food will just rot on the bottom if you have no hermits.

 

Cosmo, just two oranges.

Coralline, I was thinking id get a couple hermit crabs with the clowns. Maybe not feed the clowns until Saturday if I get them tonight?

 

still feed them, just do so a little at a time, cause they may not eat. I've had fish that didn't eat for a week, other that ate from my hand in 5 mins.

 

Lol alright. There's plenty of food on the sand bed for my crabs, algae and food from the cycle.

 

When should I start trying to feed?

Also, which method of acclimation is best?

 

You could ask 100 people and get 100 different answers. I know it's not the best but I just temp. acclimate and in they go. I really should at the leas,t do a drip but I get lazy.

 

Haha alright. I think I'll temp acclimate and add a little tank water to the bag every few minutes until it doubles in size.

I like vinny's plan, drip acclimation just adds to the stress, float, and depending on the salinity difference between your tank and theirs, swap out some water depending on how big the difference is!

 

Yeah, every fish I've ever dropped with freshwater died. I'll test and see what kind of salinity difference there is.

 

pics when you get!
